  • I’m currently working on two books. The first is Gunmetal Gods by Zamil Akhtar. The genre is Epic fantasy, it is very fast paced like break neck which is both good and bad. On one had something is always happening on the other I have no time to digest the content. I’d say it’s entertaining but wouldn’t say it’s amazing at the moment. If you like quick popcorn style books go ahead you may enjoy it.

    The second book I’m listening to is Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, genre is Scifi satire comedy. We’ve all heard about Hitchhiker’s and it’s sequels I’m just finally working through the books. I recommend it but the author’s humor seems jaded which is perfect for me lol.






  • This one is weird for me, I wasn’t drawn into this book as quick as Tress. The world wasn’t as interesting to me as some of his other works. It took me until chapter 28 to finally be invested in the characters (Early Yumi was a Karen imo, and I really don’t like her).

    Early book I was only interested in Nikiro’s world the city in eternal darkowas really cool. It kind of puts a damper in my reading experience when 1/2 the pov’s take place in an uninteresting world (Yumi’s, for me was just meh).

    I watched “Your Name” with my gf before I started Yumi and the whole time I was like this is a body swap like that. Pretty surprised about it being one of his inspirations I didn’t think Sando watched anime for some reason.

    Overall, I give it a 2.5/5 it was okay worth a read for the Cosmere connections but I won’t reread it anytime soon if at all. Better than RoW and Lost Metal but weaker than Emperor’s Soul and Tress. Compared to the other secret projects it’s the middle book so far. Tress>Yumi>Wizard.



  • Edge of Darkness by Brent Weeks.

    I just couldn’t finish it. Got to the point where Kylar got his hand back and was like okay I guess the story is over now? Felt really weird that there was still around 3/4 of a book left. I just couldn’t bring myself to keep reading after that.
